On October 13th, 2018, ElectroidFilms  announced his resignation as CEO. Ownership of the Stratus Network is being transferred to ShinyDialga  as ElectroidFilms  steps back to pursue non-Minecraft related projects. The website and servers will not experience any downtime. In the meantime, please thank Electroid for his hard work during his tenure as staff on OCN and the Stratus Network.
